SERDES Reference Clock
The 50-ohm terminated SMA connectors provide supply reference clocks directly to the LatticeECP2M device from
the ispClock management device. This device drives clocks to both SERDES quads via 100-ohm LVDS signaling.
The on-board clock oscillators mentioned in previous sections of this document can be chosen to drive the same
SERDES reference clocks. In addition, the board can be provisioned to source the clock from the PCI Express
edge-fingers directly to the SERDES REFCLK pins.
SERDES Channels
Surface Mounted SMA Connections
(see Appendix A, Figure 5)
DC coupled top-mounted SMA connectors connect to the four SERDES Tx and Rx channels. These pins are
directly coupled to the designated SMA connector, creating a path for both input and output differential data.

SERDES SFP Transceiver Interface
(see Appendix A, Figure 5)
A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver cage is included for evaluation of SFP specific protocols. The PCB
includes the appropriate power and high-speed circuitry needed for the SFP standard transceiver.
Note: this inter-
face is only available on boards featuring a LatticeECP2M-50 or larger FPGA.
